Hi Jesús, The method that seems to work in this setting is to use 'deposit by reference'. That is, you deposit a description of the item, including details of where the item can be found. It is then up to ingesting system to pull the data - perhaps via an offline queue process, using some other method (ftp, scp, nfs, etc).
SWORD v2 might be useful here too, because the SWORD statement could be requested to find out the status of the file upload (for example, using a status such as pending, in-process, complete, failed, etc). This would allow the sender/depositor to be able to find out the status of the item. Let us know how you get on - it is interesting to see the protocol being pushed to its limits with use cases such as yours.
